WELCOME TO TERRY CHIMES WEBSITE

Terry Chimes started out as a musician. He was a founder member of The Clash, later playing with Billy Idol, Black Sabbath and many others. In 2003 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

After 15 years he left the music business to pursue a career in alternative medicine and became a doctor of chiropractic and also an acupuncturist. He has studied in the UK, with a spell of clinical practice in Nanjing, China and developed a chain of chiropractic clinics, perhaps the most successful in Europe. Terry then turned his hand to training others in how to be successful.

He currently runs Europe’s largest consulting business in alternative medicine, lecturing and leading seminars all over Europe and the USA on success and how to become one. Terry is actively involved in charity work and is chairman of the board for the YMCA of East London.

The Crunch are actually something of a super group given they consist of Sulo Karlsson (Diamond Dogs),Terry Chimes (Clash), Dave Tregunna (Sham 69) and Mick Geggus (Cockney Rejects).That's certainly a line up which has a terrific pedigree of former bands.

The Strange Case of Dr. Terry and Mr. Chimes is an autobiography with a difference. This entertaining book covers the life of a man who made a successful transition from the original drummer of The Clash (he left the band in 1977 only to be asked back in 1982) and a succession of punk and heavy metal rock bands (Generation X, Hanoi Rocks and Black Sabbath) to a highly successful chiropractor offering kind
words of wisdom and compassion to those in need.

Since I reviewed the band?s debut single back in June, The Crunch have been busy making noise! That, by the way, is the name of their debut album. If the single release was impressive, than the album certainly cranks it up several notches!
